CMLL in Japan
NJPW 06/07: Mascara Dorada [8] b Gedo [2] (7:37)
Dorada did get the 8 points, because since Great Sasuke lost to Kota Ibushi with all the other expected results, he’s only in third behind both Ibushi and Sasuke. Dorada lost to both guys, so that seems to mean he’s eliminated. He’s got one final league match vs KUSHIDA tomorrow, who’s still in the running.

Averno‘s “I’m not going to WWE!” interview tour rolled thru Guadalajara Sunday. He doesn’t really explain why his father said so, but just insists on his personal professionalism.
Guerrero Maya Jr. feels winning today will be a double challenge – fighting for a title and fighting against a Maestro. Virus is the favorite to win the CMLL Super Light championship tonight, but Maya says he plans to out last Virus.
The Soberano wrestling in today’s opener turns out to be Euforia’s young son (scroll down to the last bit.) He’s just 17, but he’s been wrestling around La Laguna the last few years.

5) Ángel de Oro, Sagrado, Super Porky vs Histeria, Olímpico, Psicosis
Back in the long ago days where the Tapatios were tecnicos (February), they won the tag match.
Peculiar how Histeria is suddenly getting booked by CMLL again, especially after his brother Durango was let go.

That semifinal looks great.
Juniors (SAT) 07/23/2011 Centro Banamex

2) Hermano Muerte Jr., Sepulcro Jr., Ultratumba Jr. vs Tortuguilla Karateka I, Tortuguilla Karateka II, Zodiacal Jr.

6) Cuchillo Jr., Hijo de Rambo, Principe Odin vs Gallo Tapado Jr., Halcon 78 Jr., Hijo de Mascara Sagrada [Juniors TRIOS]
The usual sort of card they’ve been doing, plus the hair match.
CMLL (SAT) 07/23/2011 Centro Banamex
1) Cancerbero, Pólvora, Raziel vs Ángel de Oro, Ángel de Plata, Höruz
2) Dark Angel, Goya Kong, Lluvia vs Amapola, Princesa Sugheit, Zeuxis

4) Mr. Niebla, Negro Casas, Rey Bucanero vs Hijo del Fantasma, Máscara Dorada, Máximo
5) Atlantis, La Sombra, Volador Jr. vs La Máscara, Shocker, Último Guerrero [Relevos Increíbles]
Averno in the tercera, in late July. That’s precious. Angel de Oro being in the opener and Bucanero in Pesta Negra seems to indicate this card was made out a while ago. Interesting to see Ultimo Guerrero & Atlantis on opposite sides.
Seuxis (and Silueta) went to Japan in mid April and were supposed to be there for three months, so this seems about right for when she should be back. I would’ve guessed Lluvia or Goya would’ve been headed over their next, but it doesn’t appear so.

1) IWRG Gym vs Villanos Gym [Copa High Power]
2) Dinamic Black, Freelance, Golden Magic vs Carta Brava Jr., Comando Negro, Eterno

5) Hijo de LA Park, Trauma I, Ultramán Jr. vs ?, Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr.
6) Silver Kain vs Electroshock [IWRG HEAVY]
More likely to actually appear in their matches: Gringo Loco or Averno?
I should go fill in the draw for the fourth match already.
Mystery man in the semimain is another junior.
DTU (SUN) 07/24/2011 Centro Banamex
1) Jhonky vs Pequeno Cobra, Kaleth, Radical, Miedo Extremo, Arana de Plata Jr., ? [DTU ACADEMIA]

5) Chucho el Roto & Sadico vs Daga & Hormiga and Team IWRG 1 & Team IWRG 2
6) Samurai del Sol vs Drastik Boy, Zumbi, Violento Jack, Shiima Xion
Usual card. The Women’s title is new, the Academia championship is vacant.
PdM (SUN) 07/24/2011 Centro Banamex
1) Turbo vs Black Thunder
2) Celestial & Cósmico vs Mini Talisman & Mr. Aguilita
3) Hijo de LA Park, Tony Rivera, Zumbi vs Bestia 666, Pesadilla, Radge
4) Casandro vs X-Fly [MEX HEAVY]
5) Marco Corleone, MVP, Shelton Benjamin vs Damián 666, el Hijo del Perro Aguayo, Halloween
I know the guys in the opener have had that match a lot of times, but the Perros del Mal minis are quickly catching up.
If you are rooting for X-Fly in that title match, you are wrong.
Shelton’s worked for Perros previously, but MVP is making his debut.
Man I hope some one tapes that Maestros tag. It has been a while since we have seen Navarro v. Terry
@Phil: Right after I got this post up, the Lucha Libre Expo twitter said every card on the show is airing on one TV network or another. (IWRG supposedly on TV Azteca, which would be new/return.) Chances are good.
what is the chance of Rush actually winning the the HW title?
@Phil: You could just rename the file of last year’s Expo tag with today’s date and voila.
I much prefer watching Black Terry work against the Oficiales (great brawling) or younger IWRG guys since you get to watch learning on the spot. They can save the old-timer exhibitions for those Expo shows or foreign tours.
@thecubsfan: I doubt that’s happening. They’re already getting questioned about their supposed TV schedule on facebook. I think its most likely TVCDeportes gets most of the non-AAA/CMLL shows.
The IWL show is either airing on NBC or ABC. They’re still negotiating.
Here’s what they have listed on their facebook page:
“¿Sabías que todas las funciones del evento se transmiten por televisión? Juniors-Fox Sports, CMLL-Canal 28, IWRG-TV Azteca, DTU-TVC Deportes, Triple A-Televisa, Perros del Mal-Televisa y TVC Deportes.”
Juniors on Fox Sports? That sounds more like a show that would run on AYM Sports, so get ready cubs, if that leads to a Javier Llanes return to your TV! :P
Averno is correct in saying “Averno” the persona is not going to the WWE. But someone should ask if the person under the mask is.
Cubs Not Sure If you ever got the results of those CMLL Ladies in REINA
6/4 REINA
Yokohama Radiant Hall:
They claimed 204 paid.
Mika Iida beat Natsumi Kawano in 4:28.
Megumi Yabushita beat Aoi Ishibashi in 5:41.
Hiroyo Matsumoto beat Silueta in 10:58.
Hailey Hatred beat Senri Kuroki in 12:14.
Aki Kanbayashi & Ray beat Manami Toyota & Zeuxis in 23:15. Ray pinned Zeuxis after a suprarana.
Next event is 6/19 at Shin-Kiba 1st Ring. Ray vs. Zeuxis was made for it today
